Contradictory sky
At the beginning of the astrological month, Mars is still in the seventh field in Aquarius and ends its opposition on March 2nd. Venus , however, moves into trine in the ninth field in Aries on March 2nd. As for the slower-moving planets, the first decan is affected by the opposition of Pluto in Aquarius and is also beginning to receive the trines of Neptune and Saturn , recently entered into Aries , while the third decan is still affected by the square of Uranus in the tenth field in Taurus . Overall, the sky is a bit contradictory, perhaps a little nervous in the first few weeks and in any case at risk of ups and downs. Let's say that the most challenging days, which will require greater patience, will be February 22nd and 23rd, March 7th, 9th, 15th, and 16th. The best days will be February 21st and 25th, and March 1st, 5th, 6th, 11th, 19th, and 20th.
Win or participate
After a nervous, tiring phase, more challenging than rewarding, you arrive in March feeling a bit tired and unmotivated, even discouraged. As I write this, I think that unfortunately, you often find yourself poorly managing frustrations and disappointments, experiencing them as humiliating signs of your self-esteem, almost like personal defeats rather than manifestations of life's normal ups and downs. I mean, occasionally, and for everyone, there are objective obstacles or adverse circumstances, not always or not easily surmountable. In these cases, giving your all is no guarantee of results, nor should it, however, justify resentful surprise; if anything, it offers the comfort of relative awareness. You know what they say in sports: the important thing is not winning, but participating! There you go. The point is that you don't willingly settle, which can be a positive attitude... as long as it doesn't turn into arrogance or become counterproductive. In other words, it's one thing to achieve less than expected, or even the opposite, and quite another to draw absolute conclusions. Remember that true self-esteem doesn't require constant validation or external approval, tolerating mistakes and instead embracing them as experiences and new challenges. And this is precisely the process you should capitalize on in a month that seems slow but still offers interesting and progressive recovery. Neptune and Saturn have already begun their trines, Uranus will end its square and sextile at the end of April, and Jupiter will enter your sign at the end of June... Do you really think it's more useful to wait for these better times by complaining?
The strength of the relationship
Between oppositions ending and trines beginning, many planets will transit with the Sun in the eighth field this month, bringing an energy less perceptible or visible on the level of events but still at work within you, albeit more subtly. Mercury retrograde in particular prompts important reflections, accompanying you in a process of processing your thoughts and feelings, the doubts and questions you tend not to communicate or even admit. There may be choices to reconsider, initiatives launched with enthusiasm that have stalled, negotiations that collide with disagreements and bureaucratic obstacles, meetings that prove disappointing... and this naturally disheartens you and makes you doubt your own planning abilities. Instead, it's best to take things one step at a time, prioritizing them, without expecting miraculous solutions, but at least restoring some mental order and emotional lightness. In some cases, talking to experienced and trusted people can help you regain your composure, first by distinguishing between more serious and less urgent issues. This undefined moodiness will weigh somewhat on your private life, but fortunately, your relationship seems strong enough to withstand outside interference. Indeed, confiding (not venting!) in your partner will allow you to clarify your essential needs and desires, while reciprocating with respectful listening will broaden your perspective on reality, realizing that the problems aren't yours alone, and that solutions can be shared.
First decade
Neptune and Saturn have just begun their trines, and Venus will join them between March 6th and 14th. These days, in particular, promise to be beneficial for all relationships: from work to social, and, of course, romantic ones. Communication improves, and the need and pleasure of sharing intentions, goals, and values increases. And so does concrete commitment, as a result.
Second decade
This month's transits aren't particularly impactful, and Mercury 's retrograde motion (especially between March 4th and 15th) seems to invite you to take advantage of it for a moment of reflection and reflection, perhaps to learn from some experiences and let go of some emotional baggage that's still weighing you down.
Third decade
While Uranus continues its square , Mars is in opposition from February 18th to March 2nd. Even if you feel motivated and confident, you may not be as objective. In short, it's not the right time to risk major changes, because intolerance for certain situations could push you to make impulsive decisions or behave abruptly...
